Everything about ornamental garlic: The best time to plant and the right care from flower to flower

Where do you plant ornamental garlic?

Ornamental onions grow best in a sunny location in very well-drained soil. They are not picky about soil type. Plant taller varieties at the back of the bed and shorter ones at the front. Alliums do well when grown in pots, but their grass-like foliage can look unsightly after flowering.

Ornamental allium develops foliage before the flowers appear. Therefore, they are often better suited to the middle of a bed, where the faded foliage goes unnoticed while the flowers come into their own. So that the withered foliage is not noticeable, plant ornamental onions in the middle of ornamental grasses and perennials.
